LETTERS TO THE REMNANT CHURCH
THAT WHICH GOD HAS THE BRINGING TO PASS
ALREADY SAID IS DONE OF THOSE THINGS
[GAP]
Many of us live our lives "in the gap." Real, active, "becoming faith," "fills" the gap between all which God has already spsoken - and the "bringing to pass" of those things - in our life - today. The "gap" is a place that is not in the "past," neither is it in the "present," but rather, it is a place of "misunderstanding" of what faith really is. Many of us are living our lives "in the gap," never realizing the manifested promise of God in our lives. To live in "present truth," dictates that we must also live by "present faith," that is, faith that works "today," faith that "completes" something in us, for there must be an "end" to the trial, in order for thr LORD to be able to "mature" us. Many go without due to inactive faith, which is faith that produces and completes absolutely "nothing" in us. You MUST BECOME THAT WHICH GOD HAS ALREADY SAID YOU ARE! If you have not become all which God has already said that you are, then, your faith is not all that you think that it is, and you are stuck "in the gap." This is a sad, but true reality. "Becoming" ffaith is faith that "produces" something in you. Life, takes the place of death, incorruption, takes the place of corruption, healing, (health, which is Life), takes the place of sickness and disease. What good is faith which produces "nothing?"
The "gap" has alaready killed and disabled many in the kingdom of God, and has all but rendered it "ineffective" in the earth. What are you "believing" God for? Stop "believing" for it, and go and "get" it, whatever "it" is. If your "believing " faith never "produces" anything in you, then guess what... your "believing: faith is actually nothing more that what the Bible calls "hope." Think about it! "Hope" is nothing more than having faith in a "promise" of God, that you cannot produce ahead of it's time with your faith. You have "hope" in such things as the resurrection, redemtion of the body, the return of Jesus, etc., all of which you have absolutely no control over as to when they occur. Your prayers and your faith will not change the timing of such things as these, as to "when" they occur. Think of itt this way; Faith is used when you have a personal need, or when another has a personal need, such as sickness, financial, or any other type of day to day need, including all physical and emotional needs. These things you need now. These are things which you do have control over, as to when you get them (according to scripture - "be it done unto you according to your faith") so, if you are not seeing your needs met, you are still in the "gap," and your faith is nothing more than "hope." "Hope" will not "produce" anything that you need "now." Stop "hoping" for your needs to be met, and seek the LORD for proper instruction on what "becoming faith" is, and how to develope it in your life. If you are waiting for God to "do something," remember, the Bible says that His work is "finished." That means He cannot do any more for you than He has already done! If you are waiting for God to "do" something, then your :faith" is in vain, and you are living in "hope." This means that you must meet all the conditions in order for your faith to work. The promise to Joshua and to Israel was sure. The LORD "gave" to them, by "promise," the land we call Israel. This "promise" would never had been realized, if Joshua and the people had stayed at Jericho "hoping" that the land would "come" to them. They "believed" the promise, and "acted" on it, and realized the promise. You must do everything within your power to attain the promise. You must act on the promise immediately, and continue to act on it, until you "become" the promise. This is strictly a "disciplinary" function on your part. "Faith" and "Promise" are "partners." When you really "work" your faith, the "promise" is realized. The "one" produces the "other." "Faith is the tool that I use, to teach you how to create." This is a true stateement from the LORD. Think about it!
